While PerlNavigator indeed works with many editors, it should be noted that it does not show tooltips for Perl builtins.

Well Haj mentioned the various LSP solutions available.
And I've seen this talk at TPC2022 and installed VS Code as reference for LSP plus the plugin°.
Could you please tell me how to enable those tooltips?
Probably I'm doing something wrong, but
- I can neither see a code hint when pointing cursor or mouse
- nor do I get code hints when typing a builtin
°) Actually Daxim already kept pointing me towards this plug-in for month, because he knew about my IDE "visions" ...

Oh, I have no idea at all beyond what's in that talk and the README from that repo.
I still use SciTE which can handle api files like the perl.api file now hosted in this repo. Turned it back on really quick and it looks like this: https://imgur.com/a/jI7IvMD which is almost exactly what you're asking for but SciTE is hardly an environment designed to rival "Komodo, IntelliJ, VS Code, Padre, Emacs, VIM" or anything that aims to be a full IDE.
Addendum: Notepad++ and Padre (edit: and apparently Komodo) are based on Scintilla. SciTE was designed as a testbed for the Scintilla editing component way back in the late 90s and has kept up with the component's changes. I'd use Notepad++ but I no longer work on Windows and it doesn't work on Linux or ChromeOS.
